LTC0920 Item 10 Wardell Road, Dulwich Hill - Request for extension to existing school drop off zone adjacent to St Maroun's College at Nos.149- 206 Wardell Road (Djarrawunang Ward/ Summer Hill Electorate/Inner West PAC)

SUMMARY

Representations have been received from the Principal of St Maroun’s College and parents of children attending the school for an extension to the existing school drop off / pick up zone on Wardell Road, Dulwich Hill. The Principal of the school stated that the length of the drop off/pick up zone has been a safety problem for some time. In a discussion with the Principal it was agreed between the parties that the extension of the zone would be to the school boundary (some 10m) which would provide a further 2 spaces for drop off and pick up. It is envisaged that the additional two drop off/pick spaces will reduce the instances of vehicles queuing on Wardell Road in the peak periods thereby improving safety.

It is recommended that the existing 30 metre length of school drop off zone along the southern side of Wardell Road, Dulwich Hill (adjacent to St Maroun’s College) be extended by 10 metres (in line with the north-east school boundary line) to cater for the safe drop of and collection of children attending St Maroun’s College.

Officer’s Recommendation

THAT:

1. The existing 'No Parking 8.00am-9.30am; 2.30pm-4.00pm School Days’ restrictions adjacent to St Maroun’s College on Wardell Road (southern side of roadway) be extended 10 metres eastward (to the school boundary line west of Gilbert Barry Reserve) to improve road safety outside St Maroun’s College; and

2. Council's Parking Officers be requested to regularly enforce the parking restrictions outside St Maroun's College in Wardell Road, Dulwich Hill during morning and afternoon school peak periods.

DISCUSSION

The Committee members agreed with the Officer’s recommendation.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

THAT:

2. Council's Parking Officers be requested to regularly enforce the parking restrictions outside St Maroun's College in Wardell Road, Dulwich Hill during morning and afternoon school peak periods.

LTC0920 Item 13 Parramatta Road Urban Amenity Improvement Program (PRUAIP) Public Art Program - Norton Street, Leichhardt (Gulgadya - Leichhardt Ward/ Balmain Electorate/ Leichhardt PAC)

SUMMARY

The PRUAIP, is funded by the Department of Planning Infrastructure & Environment (DPI&E) and is a $198 million initiative to improve open space and active transport links along the Parramatta Road corridor. Six local Councils will be provided funding under the program to deliver 32 projects in and around Parramatta Road. This is part of the government’s commitment to revitalisation precincts between the inner west and Parramatta.

A key feature of DPI&E’s commitment to revitalisation is the commissioning of public art to activate locations and tell stories of place, and this includes a public art site for Norton Street, Leichhardt. A commissioned artwork currently undergoing design development and critical engineering investigation, will become a key feature of the Norton Street/ Parramatta Road site upgrade. The work is an exciting and significant design proposal; encompassing a suspended light sculpture, strung between uprights which form a custom-made support structure. The structure will replace the existing flag poles situated at the public art site – and will be situated above the road between Renwick Lane and Parramatta Road, Leichhardt. The engineering for the safe installation of the work is currently underway, and will involve a rigorous three-point certification process, with an additional peer review by a suitably qualified engineer before the work is installed.

The proposal presented reflects the outcomes of a recent concept design stage, including community consultation, and approval to proceed with design development by DPI&E. This report invites early feedback from the Local Traffic Committee, and is presented in advance of a further presentation when the work’s design is resolved, and when approval for the Traffic Management Plan for installation of the work is presented. A Development Application for the work will also be submitted as part of the approvals process.

Officer’s Recommendation

THAT committee ENDORSE the design proposal for submission as part of a Development Application, with the understanding that the 100% public art design and TMP be presented for approval prior to the installation of the work.

DISCUSSION

The TfNSW representative did not support the proposal due to the colours and flickering lights used in the artwork and the impact it will have on motorists given its proximity to the traffic signals. The representative stated that TfNSW can give further consideration to this proposal through the DA process. Council Officers noted the representative’s concerns and stated that the artwork will potentially be moved away from the traffic signals and this issue will be addressed through the DA.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

THAT committee ENDORSE the design proposal for submission as part of a

Development Application, with the understanding that the 100% public art design and

TMP be presented for approval prior to the installation of the work.

For motion: Majority

Against motion: Transport for NSW
